Prime Day is fast approaching, with the official dates set for July 16 and 17. There are already plenty of worthwhile early deals to take advantage of, including big savings on tech and electronics and discounts on audio equipment. Apple fans can score savings on Mac computers, Airpods, tablets, watches, and accessories. Because Apple typically doesn’t do Black Friday events, Prime Day is one of the best opportunities to stock up.
As with all Prime Day events, these deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. If you’re not a member yet, you can get a 30-day free trial right now, which will give you access to the best savings.
Some savings are already live ahead of the big event, but we’ll be keeping an eye on all of these deals as if they go out of stock or get more deeply discounted.
